Encyclopedia > Beauchene Island

Beauchene Island is one of the Falkland Islands, lying thirty miles south of Sea Lion Island, the nearest land. It was discovered in 1701 by Jacques Gouin de Beauchesne and named for him.


The island is a nature reserve and is covered in tussac grass and is known for its colony of black-browed albatrosses. Other wildlife includes rockhopper penguins, while the coast is known for its caves. It is also known for its peat, which forms at around ten times the rate of anywhere else in the world. The process by which it forms is not known.

The Falkland Islands is an archipelago in the South Atlantic continental shelf consisting of two main islands, East Falkland and West Falkland, and a number of smaller islands.
Britain returned to the islands in 1833, removed the remainder of the Argentine settlement, and began to populate the islands with its own citizens.
The extra-provincial Anglican parish of the Falkland Islands is under the direct jurisdiction of the Archbishop of Canterbury.
